Although I see you've fixed your problem, for future reference,
regarding fixing stuff from rescue disk:
You mounted your Hard drive's / file sys from the point /mnt, so you would
have to go to /mnt/etc to find the file to edit. Also, path
defs may not be set right, so you may need to be explicit in specifying
files, including ./filename to refer to a file in the current directory.
Booting to single user is preferrable, if you can, as a first try.
More often than not, you can fix things from there. If that doesn't work,
then boot the rescue disk. You can mount any file system by hand if you
need to from either single user or from rescue. Just remember what the
mount points are (instead of /, you have /mnt in this case.) There is
nothing magical about the mount pt /mnt. You could have created /mnt1,
/mnt2, /foo or whatever with mkdir and used them as mount points. If you
have more than one file system and you boot from the rescue disk, you
will need more than one temporary mount point. When you boot the rescue
disk, it creates a / file system IN MEMORY and these temporary mount
points are just that - temporarily in memory. It allows you to mount
every one of your file systems by hand so you can have access to
programs and data on your hard drive, which you might need to fix the
problem.
